I did the following:
generate fyr2 = string(fyr,"%td")
It works but I now have a sorting problem. With the old fyr
variable, dates are ordered chronologically. With the new
fyr2 variable, dates are ordered "alphabetically".

========================================================
Use a sortable date format (year, month, day):
generate fyr2 = string(fyr,"%tdCCYY-NN-DD")
Best wishes,
